The film's director, Sagar, revealed in an earlier interview with Kochi Times that the story revolves around a jewellery theft that happened in Alappuzha in 2005. In the film, which examines the dynamics between the two main characters, Indrans plays a security guard and Murali appears in a rural avatar. Sagar’s previous works are Sathyam Maathrame Bodhipikku and Veekam, both in which Dhyan Sreenivasan played the lead roles.
In the movie, Leona Lishoy plays Murali's wife. In those scenes, Sagar and his team state that they have chosen to accurately depict the events that took place and have not included any commercial elements in order "to do justice to the comprehensible story."
